Pico Iyer - If we want to talk about Gross Natural Product, we have to talk about the King of Bhutan...

Pico Iyer Zitate

If we want to talk about Gross Natural Product, we have to talk about the King of Bhutan's index of Gross National Happiness, too. Certainly I have found, as many travellers before me, that people in the poorest places are often the readiest to shower me, from an affluent country, with hospitality and kindness.

Wenn wir über Brutto-Naturprodukte sprechen wollen, müssen wir auch über den Index des Bruttonationalglücks von King of Bhutan sprechen. Sicher habe ich, wie viele Reisende vor mir, festgestellt, dass die Menschen in den ärmsten Gegenden oft die bereitsten sind, mich aus einem wohlhabenden Land mit Gastfreundschaft und Freundlichkeit zu überschütten.

Maybe we've been brainwashed by 130 years of Yankee history, but Southern identity now has more to do with food, accents, manners, music than the Confederate past. It's something that's open to both races, a variety of ethnic groups and people who move here.

You know, there are people making a lot of money in this country who can actually afford their own health care.
